CREAMY HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK RECIPES THAT ARE EASY AND DELICIOUS

If you love almond milk, but you don’t like the added ingredients that you sometimes find in store-bought milk, then you’re going to love making your own.

Homemade is always best, regardless of what you’re making, and that couldn’t be more true when making almond milk from scratch.

We love to make our own because we can control what’s in it. We buy raw organic almonds that are steam pasteurized and we use filtered water. That’s it, nothing fancy or complicated.

We also enjoy making strawberry milk and chocolate milk.

Do you remember strawberry milk from your childhood? It was delicious, but filled with artificial colors and flavors. Not ours.

Our vegan strawberry milk recipe is made with fresh berries and unrefined sugar. The same goes for our vegan chocolate milk recipe, it’s as natural and healthy as you’re going to get, and it’s DELICIOUS!

HOW DO YOU MAKE ALMOND MILK?

Making your own almond milk is easy, as long as you have the right tools.

My first attempt at making this recipe was a fail, because I didn’t have a nut bag to strain the milk, so I ended up with a gritty milk because of the almond pulp.

Then I bought a nut bag and all was well with the world.

This is the nut bag that we use to make plant-based milk. Click the picture to learn more.

STEP ONE

1. SOAK OR BOIL THE ALMONDS

In a large bowl, soak the almonds in filtered water. Cover with about an inch of water. Soak in the refrigerator overnight.

If you’re in a hurry, you can boil the almonds for about 15 to 20 minutes. They should be soft and puffy so they’ll break down in the blender.

STEP TWO

2. DRAIN AND BLEND

After soaking overnight or boiling, drain the water and rinse the almonds in a strainer. Blend the almonds and the six cups of water in a blender until the almonds are not visible and completely broken down. You shouldn’t see any solid pieces of the nuts.

STEP THREE

3. SQUEEZE

Place the nut bag in a large glass and fold the edges over the rim, then pour one third of the milk in the cheesecloth and squeeze the milk into the strainer. It gets messy, but that’s part of the fun. Continue the process until all of the milk is strained.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST ALMOND MILK

Buy the highest quality of almonds you can afford.

Use a high powered blender, such as a Vitamix or Blendtec to grind the almonds.

Invest in a good nutbag and don’t be afraid of really twisting and squeezing the bag.

Linda uses a Blendtec blender and Alex uses a Vitamix. Click the pictures to learn more.

REFINED SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY ALMOND MILK

It’s a refined sugar-free strawberry treat that you won’t be able to stop sipping on. And the good news is that you don’t have to, because it’s good for you.

HOMEMADE REFINED SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE ALMOND MILK

Forget about sugar laden chocolate milk. We created a low sugar chocolate milk that you can feel good about drinking.

Our vegan chocolate milk recipe is made with cacao powder, maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. It’s so rich and creamy and one of the best that we’ve ever had.

We love it in our morning coffee!

HOW LONG DOES ALMOND MILK LAST?

Homemade almond milk isn’t filled with preservatives, so we suggest enjoying it within three days of making it. That shouldn’t be a problem because you’re going to want to drink it whenever you’re thirsty.

Store it in the refrigerator.
